Points saillants

Wind slabs may persist in steep terrain at higher elevations, while the lower elevation snowpack remains shallow with plenty of hidden hazards.

Avalanche Summary

No avalanches have been reported. However, field observations are extremely limited in the early season.

If you're heading out into the backcountry, please consider sharing your observations on the MIN.

Snowpack Summary

At upper elevations, 5 to 15 cm of dry, powder snow can be found in wind-sheltered terrain. Snow has likely been redistributed in exposed terrain by recent winds.

We suspect there is up to 80 cm of snow in some alpine terrain.

At higher elevations, a thick crust is likely widespread, roughly 20 cm below the surface.

Snow depth tapers rapidly with elevation.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • If it's deep enough to ride, it's deep enough to slide (avalanche).
  • Back off if you encounter whumpfing, hollow sounds, or shooting cracks.
  • Be cautious of buried obstacles, especially below treeline.
